I managed to download the Splinter Cell Multi demo (I may have the full game before I get to play it! heheh), played a few more hours of Sam & Max: Culture Shock (review tomorrow!), completed my review of Just Cause for the 360, and began prewriting my preview for Guitar Hero II. All in all, a productive weekend.

Oh....*shame* I also re-activated my WoW account to play a little bit of Burning Crusade.

I'm suffering from the worst gamer ADD I've had in years. This weekend was:

- Put about 3 hours into Okami. Still really enjoy it, but it's starting to drag around 25 hours.- Spent all morning Sunday playing Civ IV. Realized that I love the early to mid game, but hate the tedium of the end-game. One of these days I'll get around to finishing one of my conquest maps.- Last night was all about Superstar Baseball 2 on Gametap. I'd forgotten how great that game is. Also played some Rastan and Golden Axe for nostalgia's sake.- Played tutorial missions on a bunch of other Gametap downloads. Stronghold, Homeworld 2, Lords of the Realm III, Age of Wonders: Shadow Magic, and Kohan II. Probably the only one I'll actually play more of is Kohan II.- Fired up Titan Quest for about an hour. Getting kind of bored with it (about halfway through Egypt)- Grabbed the 14-day World of Warcraft trial from Gamestop. I've never tried it, but I figure I should see what all the fuss is about. Took an hour to install and patch. Played it for about 45 minutes and realized (again) that MMORPG's are just not my thing. Uninstalled.

Other than GRAW with the usual suspects on Friday night not much. I re-subbed to Gametap (did the buy one month get the next free just to try it out again) for Sam & Max and fired up some of the older games on there (Planescape, Baldurs Gate, The Last Express, Sands of Time and SWAT 2). Tinkered around with SoT but deleted it. Fired up Planescape and Baldurs Gate but didn't really make it past the character creation and never made it to the other 2.

- Got plenty of Settlers 2: 10th Anniversary in on Friday evening.- Finished off Friday Night with 2 hours of HOMMV with my son in duel mode.- Saturday I was busy, but managed 1 game of Paraworld, and a couple games of Dark Crusade.- Sunday my plans went to the wind when I downloaded the trial to Master of Defense, and ended up buying it and playing it all day.

I beat the regular boss in Mortal Kombat:A with about half a dozen characters, played through a bit of the Konquest mode, realized that this is no different than the last MK game I played (Deadly Alliance, bought when it dropped below $20). Comparing this game to Soul Calibur 3 shows just how poor the development team at Midway is.

Tried out the new 602 verison of the JA2 1.13 mod on novice level. Remembered how much hatred this game can make you feel. (Nothing like watching your sniper, prone, with a rifle and Marksmanship over 90 miss a free-standing person out in the open, but gets hit by the guys return fire. ) Quit after freeing Drassen. The first time I cleared it out? Was counterattacked (this is Day 2 of the game, btw) by 8 mercs...who summon an addition 22 mercs on the second turn. For the Love of God, if any of you try that mod, SHUT OFF THE REINFORCEMENTS TRIGGER!!!

Played through most of the good campaign in BFME2. I saved and quit last night (well, technically this morning) with multiple armies encamped on Dol Goldor's from gate. Will probably polish that mission off tonight.

A little NHL 07 (2 games) a touch of Dead Rising, and finally abandoned my Dwarf Fortress. It was just too big and inefficient to enjoy any longer. I started a new one, but I'm not feeling the love. I think it's time for a break from DF.

I got the last set of 360 achievements (Dark Brotherhood quest) in Oblivion. I also finally picked up in-wall/in-ceiling surround sound speakers on Friday so I spent time installing them yesterday. Not quite there yet but I will be before the week is up.

I burned through the majority of Just Cause this past weekend and finished off my review this week. It should be on the site soon. In the meantime I finished off both Just Cause and Black this week so I've now finished a total of 25 games for the year. I have my console backlog organized downstairs such that every game on the shelf I haven't beaten is in a console-specific stack in front of my alphabetized row of completed games. I grabbed Robotech: Battlecry off the backlog shelf today and realized I was barely into it when last I played it...

Two years ago.

As such, that's next on my "to complete ASAP" list.

The real gaming fun though will be next weekend when My Fair Lady is in Austin at a work conference all day Friday-Sunday. I may have to call in *cough* sick next Friday and burn through as much of my backlog as is humanly possible then.

Battlecry was my first console game since the Genesis. It is still one of the best and is on my short list for replay. BRAVO!
